Manny Miranda:"Hispanics Think Just Like Everyone Else! We're Not Like African-Americans!!
WTF is Manny Miranda yapping about? According to Manuel Miranda,Hispanics think just like everyone else.He says that they are nothing like African-Americans.What the hell does that mean?Manuel Miranda said that the issues that Hispanics have are the same as everyone else.Unlike African-Americans.
Well,the self-deprecating prick really was trying to target his comments to a particular audience.Although he may have been speaking for some Latinos,Manny Miranda was mainly making a case for himself.
But,who was he talking to anyway?Who is the "everybody else" that Hispanics are just like? Could Manuel Miranda's target audience have been white people by any chance?
And how could someone with no background in sociology make such baseless claims!Manuel Miranda needs to worry about how his own brain thinks before he claims to know anything about how my African-American mind works!Because the remarks that he made could have only come from someone who has some kind of mental deficiency.
Here's more from The Washington Monthly:
"WHO IS 'EVERYBODY ELSE'?.... Manuel Miranda, despite his controversial past, is apparently helping lead a coalition of conservatives against Sonia Sotomayor's Supreme Court nomination. He spoke to a group of conservative bloggers this afternoon at the Heritage Foundation, and explained how the right could go after the judge without alienating Hispanic voters. David Weigel reported this observation from Miranda's remarks:
"Hispanic polls, Hispanic surveys, indicate that Hispanics think just like everyone else. We're not like African-Americans. We think just like everybody else. When I was on the leader's staff, someone called me once and asked me: 'What's Senator Frist's Hispanic agenda?' I said, 'low taxes, better education, more jobs ... what are you talking about?' And that's how Hispanics are. This is an opportunity to educate them on all of our issues and they will resonate in the way that they resonate with everyone else."
I had the same reaction Adam Serwer did: "What does it mean that Latinos are 'not like African-Americans' because they 'think like everyone else'? I'm interested to hear Miranda's explanation of the cognitive differences between black people and the rest of America."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

While Planning A Trip To London,I Came Across A Cool Site Called Qype!
When you hear about tragedies like the Air France crash,you get a little apprehensive about flying.But,summer is almost here & that usually means vacation time for me!So,I'm going to pray for the best & hop on a flight!
This year I may go check out the Jamaican & African culture that London has to offer!I've already been to Montego Bay in Jamaica,so I'm looking for something a little different.And a little less humid & hot!
I decided to do some research on what a visit to London might entail.That's when I came across a really informative site called Qype.I was able to find reviews on everything from the restaurants london has to offer to the pubs london has in store for me!
I found a whole lot of information on African restaurants.It was so cool that I found over 100 listings.There are a lot of choices.And for a picky eater like me,that is certainly a good thing!
I also found out where I could fulfill my need for a sweet treat!According to a Qype review from an American living in London,the best place to go is in the swanky Soho district.That's apparently where you can find delicious treats like the ones pictured above.And Qype provides nightlife vouchers for folks who are on a budget,like yours truly!!!
So,I thought I'd pass on this little nugget to those who like to plan their own vacations.And even if you have a travel agent doing all the work for you,it still helps to get feedback about the places that you are visiting.
And there was no shortage of it on Qype.I found reviews and information on hotels,bars,events,restaurants,and places to shop. You know that a girl has to have more than an idea of where she can go to get the best threads!
Qype is easy as pie to navigate & use because all of the information is categorized! If I do go to London,I will be using Qype for their extensive information & reviews .But,all has to go well in order for me to do that!

Nadya Suleman Proves That You Can Get Famous Just By Spreading Your Legs!!!
When Nadya Suleman spread her legs & popped those 8 kids out,she became an instant media sensation.Who says that you can't get famous just by opening your legs? Because,in essence,that is really all that she has done.
Now,the octupulet mom has inked a reality show deal.I won't be watching & that is for sure!I have had about all that I can take of her.She is a irresponsible & irrational woman with 14 kids.What more is there to know?!!
Here's more from Yahoo News:
"The Southern California woman who gave birth to the world's longest-surviving set of octuplets has signed a deal to star in a reality television series, her lawyer said Sunday.
Nadya Suleman, who gave birth to the six boys and two girls in January and also has six other children, agreed to be filmed for a proposed television show by 3Ball Productions, attorney Jeff Czech said.
The company, which is a subsidiary of Amsterdam-based Eyeworks International, hasn't yet sold the show to any American television network, he said.
The show will be modeled after a successful Eyeworks TV series in Denmark that documents the lives of four children from the day they were born until they become adults."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
